Scope This report analyses all fabric (woven, knitted), leather and fur outerwear for adult women (over 14 years of age). Product technology. Garments are produced: using all types of fabric, in terms of both spun materials (cotton, wool, linen, silk, man-made and mixed fibres) and textile techniques (woven, knitted). using animal or synthetic leather (made of impregnated fabric/coated with polyurethane resin that looks like natural leather). using animal or fake fur (made from a fabric produced with natural, artificial or synthetic fibre that looks like animal fur). Function: as with all products in the fashion industry, in addition to its primary function of covering and protecting the body, clothing has a social purpose and acts as a status symbol. This greatly influences the characteristics and evolution of consumption and competitive trends. Intermediary clients: the main clothing companies supply directly to retailers (short distribution channel, composed of independent stores, direct mono-brand and franchise chains and large-scale retail traders), whereas small companies often use the wholesale channel (long distribution channel) to reach retail customers. This report analyses the main competitors operating directly on the market. These companies have strong brands that encompass all or some of the main types of women's clothing and increasingly extend to total looks, i.e.

4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in Gods sight. Pastor Joseph Adbe of the Sprit of Truth Ministry opined that women should not wear trousers because the book of Deuteronomy said women should not wear what pertain to men. On the use of jewelry, he said the Bible does not say that Christians should not use jewelry but they should use it moderately, not in a way that people use it today because some people are practising idolatry with those things. These things have become their gods. Pastor Dapo Adewale said preaching about trousers and beauty ornaments should be anchored on modesty. According to him, women should be taught to dress modestly and not be told do not wear this or that because that is not the message of our Lord Jesus. In fact, that is regurgitating, not preaching. It is like preaching to babies, not mature, spirit filled Christians. Furthermore, there are more important things to preach against such as murder, adultery, hatred, unforgiveness, stealing, lying. These are far more important than whether a woman wears trousers or not.

Whilst this dye stuff is not banned for textile use in Australia, expert authorities classify these azo-colourants as carcinogens. Exposure to these chemicals should be minimised. Thursdays recall from Target applies to three styles of childrens pants and two styles of womens jeans, and comes after warnings for clothing from national retailers including Rivers, Just Jeans, Myer and Trade Secret, as well as for pillow cases from Pillow Talk. The evidence available to the ACCC from testing does not suggest there is a widespread problem, the ACCC deputy chairwoman, Delia Rickard, said at the time. Many Australian suppliers have systems in place to avoid particular dyes being used by manufacturers overseas, she said. There are no specific regulations relating to the Azo dyes, but the ACCC was working with government and stakeholders on a regulation impact statement, a spokesman told Guardian Australia.
